Questions, Questions, Questions

I'm happy to answer your questions when possible about things found on my site. BUT...don't ask that question unless you are properly prepared. This means:

Ask a complete question. Put enough limits on it so that the reply doesn't require writing a book. If I had the time to write a book, I would and then I'd sell it to you! If you don't put appropriate limits on your question, I won't reply.

If you're having a problem with some piece of gear, I need to know the makes and models of equipment involved as well as a very concise statement of the problem. If the problem is noise, then tell me what kind of noise: hum, hiss, buzz, crackling, etc. Tell me the whole story. Think overkill not underkill.

If you have a problem with a sound system, I need to know what else is in the system. Give me an equipment list of the affected items. Be precise. Be concise. But above all, be totally descriptive.

Before sending your problem to me, do us both a favor and reread it. Do some editing. Make sure it is crystal clear. Think about sending pictures.

If I think that your question transcends the bounds of what I consider free advice, I'll let you know that in advance.

If you don't get a reply within a reasonable amount of time then you most likely didn't give me enough information or maybe my spam filters ate it. Again, overkill rather than underkill.
